Rossin said the proposal was currently in New York, from where instructions were being awaited for further action, although he argued "many parts of the plan are not in line with UNMIK's mandate."
Belgrade has officially proposed to the UN a coordination of activities in Kosovo in the spheres of rule of law, customs, transport, as well as religious, historical and cultural heritage.
Serbian minister for Kosovo Slobodan Samardzic said Belgrade proposed the agreement to UNMIK on "creating an atmosphere for the functional separation of Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo."
Kosovo's President Fatmir Sejdiu and Prime Minister Hashim Thaci rejected the proposal, calling it a "partition along ethnic lines".
